Re: Windows application - Linux server

Ad 1.
If you need only forms to read your data and business logic is simple: - I think that the best way is create packages with business logic in PL/SQL on server and put output on a web server to view it using standard web browser. You haven't to install any stuff on client workstation (program, net8 or ODBC, configuration ...)

If your users need to analyze data extracted from db: - Forgott VB - you cannot handle data well and you will die from upgrading every workstation during installation of your soft. - If you will use VC++ - perfect GUI is a pain, use some RAD tool like Borland builder or any other.

Ad 2.
Use Net8 and objects of your development framework.

What's about Java?
